Hyundai has confirmed that it will bring its i30 N racer to the SEMA Show starting on October 31 in Las Vegas.
The i30 N in question raced in the 24 hours of Nurburgring in May in near-production specification. It went on to complete 122 laps and covered over 1,800 grueling miles, all in the name of testing the durability of Hyundai’s first ever true hot hatch.
A couple of months after the i30 N’s successful outing at the German racetrack, the car premiered in production-form in early July and will initially launch in Europe before 2017 comes to a close.
Driving the i30 N is a turbocharged 2.0-liter petrol four-cylinder which in base form, pumps out 246 hp. If customers opt for the Performance Package version, grunt increases to a very respectable 271 hp, enough to accelerate the hot hatch to 62 mph (100 km/h) in a brisk 6.1 seconds.
As you’d expect from any hot hatch, the automaker didn’t just focus on making the car faster in a straight line. Instead, it’s chassis has been thoroughly optimized through the installation of adaptive suspension and an electronic limited-slip differential (in the Performance Package), that promises to overhaul the handling characteristics of the front-wheel drive hatch.
Unfortunately, the i30 N won’t be sold in the United States.
